Feethit Slip On - Women's Review

These shoes scored well for being lightweight and noticeably easy to pack since they smush down into space-saving winners. But we wished they offered a bit more support and cushioning, though the price is very attractive.

Performance Comparison

Comfort

During long walks, I immediately noticed the minimal cushioning underfoot. The first 2,000 steps felt adequate, but by 5,000 steps on tile flooring, both foot and knee fatigue became apparent. The one-piece knit upper, while allowing good breathability, lacks structure and tends to collapse when putting the shoes on. They fit true to size in a single width option, though the seamless design requires two hands to put on properly - a significant drawback compared to more user-friendly options that allow for hands-free entry.

Support

The Feethit Slip On demonstrated concerning results in our rigidity tests. We could practically roll the shoe into a ball, indicating minimal structural support. During our twist test, these shoes showed excessive flexibility - a clear indicator of insufficient support. The minimal arch support allowed noticeable inward foot rolling during our walking tests, making these unsuitable for those needing moderate to high levels of support or stability.

The standard lacing system allows for some fit adjustment, though narrow-footed users may struggle to achieve a properly snug fit due to the collapsing upper material. These would best suit those with neutral pronation who prioritize flexibility and minimal structure over support.

Traction

After testing dozens of walking shoes on multiple surfaces, our team found the Feethit Slip On's traction performance concerning. The outsole features a basic wavy pattern with shallow lugs that struggled to provide reliable grip. During my standardized surface tests, these shoes scored mediocre on both concrete and tile in dry conditions. When I encountered wet surfaces, the grip decreased noticeably, causing us to take more careful steps. The rubber compound feels notably less grippy than what I found on competitors.

Most disappointing was the shoe's performance on gravel. The minimal lug depth and basic traction pattern left me feeling unstable on loose surfaces. I also noticed early signs of wear on the outsole after just our initial testing period, suggesting long-term durability concerns.

Weight

Our testers did like that the Feethit Slip On are on the lightweight end of the spectrum at 6.53 ounces for a single shoe. They didn't weigh feet down at all during long walks, but that comes at the expense of much-needed support and cushioning.

Durability

During our initial unboxing and quality assessment, the Feethit Slip On presented a mixed bag of construction elements. The upper features a fairly standard engineered mesh that feels similar to more expensive walking shoes, but close inspection revealed less reinforcement around typical wear points compared to competitors. The midsole and outsole materials immediately struck us as budget-oriented, lacking the premium compounds and thoughtful construction we see in shoes even just $30-40 more.

Through my testing period, which included over 10,000 steps across varied surfaces, the shoes maintained their basic functionality but showed early signs of potential issues. The mesh upper remained intact, but I noticed the support structure beginning to break down, particularly around the midfoot where stability is crucial. User reports also consistently mention two significant concerns: deteriorating support structure within two to three months of regular use and sole separation issues, particularly along the forefoot flex points. These reports align with what we'd expect given the materials and construction methods we observed.

On the maintenance front, these shoes offer one bright spot - they're machine washable and emerge surprisingly well from cleaning, likely due to their simple construction. I accidentally put this feature to the test after a coffee spill and found they maintained their shape and functionality after washing. However, the ventilation holes that help with breathability also make these shoes vulnerable to water penetration, something I discovered during light rain. This isn't ideal for a walking shoe that might encounter occasional wet conditions.

Should You Buy the Feethit Slip On?

We recommend the Feethit Slip On for travelers seeking an ultra-packable backup walking shoe or those needing a budget-friendly option for occasional, light use. The minimal support and cushioning make these less suitable for everyday wear or extended walking sessions. Those with neutral pronation who prioritize flexibility over structure might find these adequate for short walks, but we'd strongly encourage looking elsewhere if you need any meaningful support or cushioning.
